Ryan brings to life the story of Canadian animator Ryan Larkin, who produced some of the most influential animated films of the early 1970s. In this Oscar-winning short film, celebrated director Chris Landreth uses hand-animated, three-dimensional technique he calls "psychological realism" to tell Ryan's story. Today Larkin lives on welfare and panhandles for small change in downtown Montreal. The film explores his early works and asks how an artistic genius could follow such an unfortunate path. Contains seven films, including Alter Egos, a documentary on Larkin and Landreth. -- © Rhino Entertainment [More]
